Tom Scully to Richmond in 3-4 years [merged]

[Judge Roughneck]

the reality is my friends that our No 1 draft selection will be better than GWS compo.and Melbourne would welcome our interest..and we are only paying 92% of the cap, we could very easily sign him to a 700k pa deal

indeed. Why not go for it? 

[TigerTimeII]

his knee seems fine

will be even fitter in a tiger jumper next yr

[wayne]

So if we're right into him, he hasn't signed anything with GWS then?

You'd assume so...but, then there's that nasty rumor re a player who has signed, but has changed their mind. Who knows who that is.

This will give Dimwittio license to take one of our stars for GWS.

His head will be on a souvlaki rotisserie if it happens.

WW3 will be started from Tigerland.

speaking of souvlaki, dookie's sauce is usually about as good as a jar of out-of-date tzatziki that's been left in the sun

Incorrect. But we'll see how this progresses.

In the meantime, your can stick to your ogalo peri-jizzle.

Interesting reading on the Demonland forum.

Personally, I would be more concerned about the Tigers. Or the possibility the GWS could doing a deal with the Tigers. Sheedy has already come out and said something along the lines of "we will actively assist clubs get what they want, if they help us get what we want"

However, question for me is will have the Tigers have the room in their salary cap to get the job done?

Dont forget the Tigers already have a "top 20" draft pick in the bank for this very type of scenario! Rumours, already are strong that Scully is their target.

That's an old quote, but there is more recent stuff, it gets interesting from here..

Answer for you is yes we do.

He's not in it for the money. Of course we would. 

hangon007 is copping heaps from other Demon supporters.

He's giving them clues, they seem obvious to me.

You only have to look at the views of some of the so called "supporters" of the MFC in this forum & not necessarily exclusively on the topic of Tom Scully. Again thats not a criticism of the forum that values free speech.

Tom has a huge issue with the Demons tanking to get him!!

[DCrane]

They seem very edgy about Scully on that thread.
I love reading these rumours about Scully on the net, it's such a romantic notion, of having the true tiger come home to where he belongs, and help take us to the land of honey.
It would be freaken fantastic if any of this stuff was remotely true. It even makes me forget that we are more urgently in need of a ruckman and a tall defender (and maybe a CHF)

I'm hoping for the scenario where our first round pick is competitive with what the GWS compo would be. What did Geelong get for Ablett? The way Geelong are going, unless a cyclone wipes out Kardinia Park, Geelong have received a pick 9 and ~15 for him. Is Scully worth what Ablett is? If he is worth a little bit less then our 1st round pick might be competitive!

It's going to be interesting come trade time, even more so if we're in the running for Tom.

There are so many scenarios that can happen at trade time.

All hypotheticals, but we use GWS to do a Brisbane/Brennan type upgrade of our first pick ie. Pick 17 and Astbury for pick 7?? If we lose a player to GWS then we have two compo picks, we could trade two compos for maybe an early teens pick. Connors and Morton may attract some nibbles from some clubs (Carlton, Hawks, Eagles, teams in the 8 that may trade rather than draft)??

Trade week always ends up a flop, but I think this one could be very busy.

[gerkin greg]

first round pick and a good player to melboure, maybe a late sweetner/wristy
scully to richmond
more than what they'll get from the AFL if he goes balls first to the GIANTS

[Hellenic Tiger]

Nothing than a little fear and paranoia to get the masses turning on each other over a bottle of chiraz at the Mt Hotham Ski Chalet. Just make sure your ski chains are on your Jeep securely.

Would love to see Sully kick it to a Richmond player tomorrow so I or any other Tigers fan can rightly say a comment along the lines of get used to giving it to us more often Tom just to make the Dee fans just that little bit more uneasy. Geez are they paranoid or what.
